Unlost Irony

 

If only the living were free and dead, non-silent

If only a few from the clan above sat at a table to speak with the lips of the heart

If only the table forbid conversation about names invented before we understood English

If only the permit to the table is honesty, and the language is sincere words devoid of sympathies

If each table had a person from each continent, where everyone spoke about claimed people from a region marked by water

What will be the topic?

Would the privileged 7 talk about love and unity, or interest and plays

Would everyone ask for restitution for crimes of the past

Would the demands include grants or request for gratitude?

Would slavery be discussed and consequences of this elaborated?

Would there be women at the table, or would the men ask for space?

Would the dead trust the heart of the living, I hope the irony isn’t lost on you?

Would the table speak words?

My view, the table is a reflection on a patent surface…The living seeing through the dead

The ground that history was founded, the difference between being taught and learning

The living refusing to truly see through the dead, I hope the irony isn’t lost on you!

Wrapped in the embrace of his familiar stranger, he looks up at his space The uncertainty of no existence, the promise of reward, a destination lost somewhere in time The map is the soul and the fulfillment is a...

FULL CIRCLE

  On the side where the hips won’t complain Looking into the past that begins on the surface of a wall   Eyes closed, Mind open Visiting memories, no pattern, just a journey     A collection of recollections But it’s not a dream

The Gambler

One of the things that confused me was the balance between first impression and second chances, I probably would have delayed on decisions a few times because I honestly didn’t understand how both scenarios play, a far left situation or open mindedness required the embrace of both? Maybe conclusions are not conclusive, maybe full stops don’t really end sentences as the end of a paragraph doesn’t always translate to the end of the narrative. Time is easier told when both clock hands are on the same digit, confusion really don’t exist if there is a balance, my problem all along has always been imbalance, myopic vision maybe, the type with experience as the known corrective lens. As the years rolled by, I have embraced the gambler’s mind, my cards are not as important as the cards others show and the next round is always pregnant with promise. A gambler knows that cards follow little or no logic, its chance and opportunity, what is presented is inferior to what is n...
